My bad, gang...

I'm sorry about being inactive. I've been busy and stuck in a chokehold by a new special interest, and returning special interests. Still in a chokehold of one of these other interests. Will update my about me for the future. Idk when I'll post another chapter or a one-shot, and I'm sorry. Explanation for the inactivity after this post below, you may choose if you want to read or not. So, read at your own risk.

I will jump right into my reason. I will continue to be inactive due to the fact that I'm struggling with writer's block, but I have to be in that hyperfixation with a fandom or piece of media to be able to write for it. As of lately, and as stated before above the line, I've been locked in other hyperfixations and special interests. I do want to write and finish my requests and fics, but currently, I'm not in the right mindset to do that. I do hope and plan to come back to this, this blog, my writings, but only time will tell. This next paragraph will be kind of a vent, just have to get it off my shoulders.

I've also been dreading writing because I feel I have a good grasp on the characters and their personalities, but then again, I'm working with so little. When I sit down to write and put these characters into these scenarios, I ask myself, "What would (character) do?" and I find myself unable to answer that question. That terrifies me. I want to write something good and enjoyable; I want to get the characters as close to canon as I can, with just a few headcanons sprinkled in. I feel like I'm being crushed under the pressure of my own expectations, and I'm terrified of being judged harshly because I can't just ignore it. I am reactive, and when doubt sets in, I can't shake it. I fear judgment, and I know that not many people will probably see it, but I just can't stop the doubt and the discouraging thoughts. Let me end this on a lighter note, like I said earlier, I do plan, and hope to be able to, come back to this blog and come back writing these fanfics. I will still be active, in the sense that I'll interact with people, but I just won't currently be writing.

I kinda want to write a Hanahaki disease fanfic for either Genshin Impact or K-Pop Demon Hunters. But I've never written angst before, even though I love it so much. Do you think I should do it? I'll write it after I finish my requests. I'll make a second poll on whether I should write for K-Pop Demon Hunters or Genshin Impact.

Yes, bring on the angst!!!

Please no! My heart can't take it!

This is true.

Procrastination nation

I have so many requests I need to write, but then I sit down to write and then I'm like "I need background noise!" Then I go onto YouTube and get sucked down into the rabbit hole that is, "Oh! This short looks interesting, I'll watch it real quickly then get back on track!" Guh, I can't do the things I need to do, and my brain is upset at me for slacking off. I just, guh... Okay, bye, have a good day!

Might close requests while I work on the ones I have, idk.

[devotiondrippingred]

Regarding Requests...

Okay, so my rule on wanting detailed requests was a little vauge so I updated it, see my about me post for that:

https://www.tumblr.com/devotiondrippingred/790618370222456832/my-first-fanfic-im-still-learning-be-pai?source=share

But any requests that do not follow my rules will be deleted(unless I really like the idea or I can contact you to get more details on what you want). I'm sorry I wasn't clearer about that from the start. Thank you for your time, and goodbye.

[devotiondrippingred]

Thank you so much!

Thanks to everyone who sent in requests. I will probably be working on those, like trying to write one a day. But, I can't promise anything because, well, things happen. Also, I will be deleting any requests that break my rules. The main rules I will be looking out for: Give me a clear prompt, who you want with whom, romantic or platonic, if you want a specific scene, or a vibe. If this rule is not followed by a request will be deleted. I will also be deleting requests that make me uncomfortable. I do hope you understand. Once again tysm, and feel free to send in more requests. All request rules are in my pinned About Me post.

K buh bye have a good day/night depending on timezone and when you read this.

[devotiondrippingred]

Ya'll my attention span has taken the wheel today. I'm sorry, but I don't think that I'll be able to post a fanfic today. K buh bye.

[devotiondrippingred]

Im Bored

Y'all send in some requests, please. I'm so bored; I need something to do. Yes, I'm still struggling with writer's block, but I can still figure this shit out. I like a good challenge. Guh... video games and doom scrolling aren't giving me the dopamine I need. I beg, send in requests. My request rules are included in my pinned post. K buh bye!

[devotiondrippingred]

Update on the series...

I decided I didn't like the idea I wrote for chapter three, so it might only be 13 chapters total. Although I will be trying to come up with ideas so that it will still be 14 chapters, bc if it's not an even number or a multiple of five, I will stress about it. K thanks buh bye.

“The Woman From The Snow, The Women of Song” Chapter 2: “Looking For Work”

Main Genre: Slice of life Fandom: K-Pop Demon Hunters Fem!Russian!Reader Side note: This is 1,042 words long. You're fed up with cheap meals and in desperate need of a job. A chance encounter with a small, struggling café sets the stage for new beginnings.

You were incredibly tired of over-seasoned convenience store foods, and they were also starting to look expensive now. It’s about time for you to look for a job. You’re in desperate need of cash; you only had enough to last a few more months, so you'd better look now before you don’t have enough for even a single month.

You got up from your seat on the couch, turning the TV off as you did so. You grabbed your laptop and sat at your table, opening it and mentally preparing yourself for the job hunt.

All the listings had wait times or requirements you didn’t meet. You couldn’t wait, and you couldn’t lie on your resume. You scrolled and scrolled, but no luck. With a dejected sigh, you closed the laptop. Maybe a walk would clear your head.

You got ready for your walk, getting dressed and putting on light makeup. Then you picked up your purse and put on a pair of heeled boots, block heels. You grabbed your apartment keys, stepped out, and locked your door. Then you began the walk.

People still stared, but you were kind of able to tune it out. You ducked into a side alley, quieter, but now you were on edge, just in case. You had read some Reddit horror stories, probably from America, but they still freaked you out. When you walked out of the alley into another main street, you spotted a small hole in the wall of a cafe. It had a sign that read, “Hiring! Looking for anyone willing to work!” You peeked inside and saw that the cafe was severely understaffed, looking only two people working at the moment, a young, most likely a teenager, and an old, grey-haired man. You decided it was worth the shot, so you walk inside and ask about the sign.

A few weeks later, you got the job, hurray, time to start working. You’d had a few interviews with the old man over tea. Then, one morning, you received an email, and you got the job.

When you go to meet your boss, a kind-looking middle-aged man, you go into full panic mode. Your posture goes rigid, and you quickly bow to be polite. But in your rush to bow, you bow too deeply. He chuckles, “Now now, miss y/n, no need to bow so far. This is a cafe, not a shrine.” You feel your cheeks burn, and you straighten back up. “A small bow would’ve done just fine, and it’d save your back,” he said with a small, amused smile.

Around the third week of working there, an elderly woman and an elderly man, possibly a married couple, came in. The older woman asks, “How is the weather, dear?” You answer bluntly and honestly, like you would’ve back home, “It’s too hot, it’s scorching out there. It’s also very humid. It’s miserable, honestly.” The old couple laughs, they nod, “It is, isn’t it?” You take their order, smiling, you don’t think anything of it, but as soon as they walk away, your coworker grabs you by the shoulders and pulls you away. “You’re not supposed to be so blunt! You’re supposed to say it's refreshing, or pleasant, even when it isn’t,” he loudly whispered. You blink, confused, “Why lie?” He replied, “It’s not lying, just polite delusion. Just… get back to work and don’t do that again…”

One day, you forgot to bring your lunch to work, you tried to hide the fact that you forgot your lunch, and tried to work through it. But your boss noticed, and pulled you aside and handed you a bento. “We all work better when we are fed; hunger can make you distracted and irritable. We can’t have that now, can we?” He explained with a kind smile.

Once, while working the morning shift, some young guy, probably in his teens, practically demanded a different barista to speak to, insisting he couldn’t understand you due to your accent. Rude, but these things happen. It’s fine, you totally aren’t just saying that to calm yourself and to keep yourself from throwing something into a wall.

One morning, you spilled hot water and cursed in Russian, which earned you a few looks from the customers, and a sweet small boy came over to the counter to ask if you were okay. Which was absolutely adorable; you had to hold back the urge to sob at the cuteness. You told him that you were alright, and he waited for a moment to make sure before running back to his mother, or aunt, or just his guardian.

A month in, a young woman, maybe just two to three years younger than you, came in to order. When you greeted her, she smiled at you, and she said, “Wow, your accent is gorgeous. It’s very charming.” You paused, shocked and a little flustered, and she chuckled, “Don’t let anyone tell you your voice isn’t beautiful, not even yourself.” You smiled back, and you took her order. You couldn’t stop thinking about that woman’s words the rest of the day. You were kind of disappointed you didn’t get her number.

That woman never came back in, which only added to your disappointment. But, life happens, maybe she found someone for her, or she didn’t like the coffee enough to come back.

You spent late nights studying proper bowing etiquette. That elderly couple became regulars, and you’d chat with them about the weather. “What do you think of the weather today? Is it miserable again today?” The older lady would laugh every time they came in. Your coworker is kind and helps you out, with everything from job-related things to non-work-related things, with proper ways to speak and the social rules you didn’t know about.

You were doing pretty well so far. It was nice not to always eat the over-seasoned foods of the convenience store. Sometimes you would have enough cash to buy the ingredients for Grechka (Гречка), buckwheat porridge. You’d added butter, mushrooms, and a fried egg to the porridge. It was a poor girl’s comfort food, but it reminded you of home. You also would often go to foreign markets to get rye or black bread, sometimes both. Author's note: God, why do I do this to myself, like the only genre I don't like is slow burn and slice of life, but I'm writing a slice of life fanfic. I hate myself or something, idk. Eh, I'm gonna keep writing this though, I won't give up yet. Although I may take a break bc writer's block is a pain in my ass.

Update

Update on Chapter 2 of “The Woman From The Snow, The Women of Song” I'm struggling with writer's block for this chapter. But other than that, it's going well, I'm aiming for 1k words again, and I'm at 838 words. I might, keyword: might, have it posted tomorrow, or later today, idk.
